I loved the portability of this pet carrier and my dog looks forward to daytime naps, and overnights all snug in this. It's perfect, and the zipper is strong. My dog would be able to find out how to unzip this if it wasn't strong. It was lightweight to move from room to room easily. Very happy with this purchase.

(NOTE: This is not the review mentioned by another reviewer that fails to rate the actual carrier--I AM rating the actual carrier as 4 Stars)

I wanted a carrier that was roomy enough that my paranoid cat would not freak when I take her to the Vet. Standard carriers (plastic) make her feel confined because she can't see out very well. This one fits her well, although I would have preferred a little more height so she could sit up without ducking her head to look out the screens. However, I was aware of the measurements before ordering.

This is a very well-made carrier at a reasonable price. It has metal pipes as framing, the material is tough, and the screening seems strong. The carrying handle is comfortable to use. It carries well with a 12# cat in it without losing its shape. It folds down easily and reasonably flat, with a handle for carrying. Makes it very convenient to store.

Reasons that I'm rating this 4 stars instead of 5? It came with absolutely NO instructions. I understand that it only has so many parts, but a picture would have been helpful. It is not real easy to put together, (arthritic folks take note) as the pipes have to be pushed outwards to stretch the unit, then brought together at exactly the same time. And then the plastic sliding part at the end of one pipe slides into position to lock it and the opposite pipe into place. Now come on, guys; if we can hang a tag on this product that brags about the "Thinsulate" bottom pad, then we could include a picture to help out the 'mechanical-challenged' customers like myself. So, minus one star.

Now, I'll share some additional information about the carrier, the manufacturer, and Amazon for your enjoyment (or not). I have never had to return any item that I've ordered from Amazon that THEY have supplied directly, so I was not familiar with their return policies. The first carrier that I received from Amazon was defective. The pipes were simply too long to fit together, no matter how much I tried. I shouldn't have to give myself a hernia to assemble something. So I contacted the manufacturer, PetLife. I wanted to make sure that I was assembling it (trying to, anyway) properly. They were reasonably helpful, and we concluded that I must have received a defective unit. They would however, charge me a shipping charge to return the defective item to them for a replacement. Since I'm a Prime member with Amazon, I receive free shipping when they supply and ship a product. So I contacted Amazon to see what could be done that wouldn't cost me. They were extremely helpful and apologetic. A replacement carrier (that they tested before shipping) arrived the VERY NEXT DAY. The pickup of the defective carrier was also arranged by Amazon and occured the day after. I was impressed and satisfied with Amazon's Customer service, and the exchange didn't cost me a dime. Which it never should, in my opinion, when an item is defective--manufacterers take note, please.

No rating on the defective carrier (mistakes happen).

4 Stars for the 2nd (replaced) carrier.

5 Stars for Amazon's customer service.

I needed a folding carrier for our new puppy...I found this one on line and ordered it hoping it would work out. It came faster than was hoping as we were leaving in four days to stay in a very nice hotel. Not only were we pleased, but I have suggested it to several friends who travel with their pets. It is attractive, sets up in seconds and my Yorkie is very comfortable and safe in it. It stores flat and carries from place to place easily. Was worth the money!

Honest reviews on Zippered 360° Vista View Pet Carrier in Khaki

Wrong Size Ordered The crate itself is great. However returning the wrong size was almost impossible even though I eventually bought and received the correct size. I had to spend hours on the computer getting a refund and the stocking fee waived. Not sure I would use this company again.
